It is the only train station located in Podgorica, and serves as a hub for Railways of Montenegro.

However, due to the lack of funds, the current building is still serving as a provisional passenger terminal.

Thus, the waiting room, restaurant, ticket booths and retail facilities are of inadequate capacity, and the quality of service is subpar when compared to the main stations of cities of similar size.

The area further from the station terminal building is occupied by the largest rail yard in Montenegro, where there are numerous service, repair, freight and other facilities used by the various Montenegrin railway companies.

It is one of 52 scheduled stops on the Belgrade–Bar railway and the main southern terminal (freight trains continue south to the port).
